We sold our car today,after contacting AutoNation and talking to Arman. He's very knowledgeable, lots of years of car experience. Did not feel pressured I feel like they were very professional,even offered to give a ride home. They matched the Carmax price even did a bit better. No hassle whatsoever. Highly recommend! read more

Adam was honest and very efficient. I sold my Mercedes here. I got a fair price and was treated well. After getting the runaround from Carmax and many others this is the place to sell your car. read more

Amazing service from Adam! He was super responsive with his calls/texts. He was very informative throughout the whole process of selling our vehicle! He got the transaction done very quick, very thankful we got in contact together. Will definitely be bringing my future cars to him! read more

Tristan is awesome! Ask for him and only him! Process is painless and easy and for the post part, pretty quick!

They confirmed an appointment and then the car was unavailable when I got there. It was not a short drive and I felt like they tricked me.

Wooow a bullshit not recommended If you value yourself Don't trust them. They are like scam please please don't waste your time and money. They appraised my car $35,250 but on purchase day they said our system has a problem and can buy your car for $31000 . That guy was Cristian and his manager was Hovid or something like that. Don't trust them at all. Not recommended read more

Everything was smooth and professional. Tristan helped me out and his Manager and they did a tremendous job getting me in and out since i was short on time . Thank you read more

10/10 would recommend this place. Highly professional and friendly service. I was helped by Nerses and he made the entire process super easy. All I had to do was show up and say I wanna sell my car and he took care of everything. read more

Nathan was very friendly and very professional. He made selling my vehicle so easy and seamless. I am highly recommending this location. read more

The lease for my 2 BMW's (2022 540i & 2022 430i GC) were expiring, and rather than dealing with the tedious BMW lease return process I wanted to give AutoNation Encino a shot as a few of my friends has sold their BMW's there for a great price. I dealt with the manager Mike Moye, who has 20+ years' experience in the used car market. I was pleasantly surprised at what Mike offered me for my BMW's - the process was quick and I received an immediate Zelle payment for the positive equity from my vehicles...something I did not expect at all! If you have a vehicle to sell I recommend you visit AutoNation and see Mike Moye - he's an expert at his trade and will give you the top dollar that your vehicle is worth. Thank you!! read more

Auto Nation - Bye bye :( - Car Dealers Near Me - Encino, California

Really impressed with this place. They offered me a great price on my car - $4500 more than the dealership where I was buying a new car. Tristin was great. He got back to me right away, and he really put a lot of effort into getting me the best deal. read more

If you're looking to sell your car, come to this place and look for Tristan he is the best will give you the best offer and you'll be in and out in less than an hour. 10 stars for Tristan!!! read more

My wife and I were looking to sell our car which was on a lease with Acura (above its listed payout amount) and I have to say that AutoNation came through here solidly! After much searching and many quotes, we got connected with Mike Moye just hours after getting an appraisal online on the AutoNation website. He was extremely responsive, answering emails within minutes, and picking up the phone immediately upon calling him for some quick follow up questions. He confirmed that they'd be able to buy out an Acura lease no problem given their network of dealerships (Acura/Honda, like many auto finance companies, will only honor your agreed upon buyout quote if the buyer has a connection with an Acura dealer who formally buys the car on the backend). Mike was true to his word on the price quoted over the phone before us arriving on the lot, agreeing with me on the car condition I gave. After signing a few forms, we walked out of there with a check in hand that we were able to cash right away and it was an easy as can be done deal. Unlike most car dealership experiences, this was an entirely no-nonsense one. I need to give my absolute highest regards to Mike here at AutoNation Encino for his responsiveness, transparency, and actually coming through at the end of the day, and so very rapidly, at that! Without question, Mike and AutoNation Encino will be right where we'll be going next time we need to sell a car -- and likewise who we'll be recommending to anyone who is looking to do the same. Thank you so much again for everything! read more

I recently received a certified quote from AutoNation for my car and I am extremely disappointed with their unprofessionalism and what I believe to be deceptive practices. After receiving the initial quote, I called to confirm the offer . I was told that in order to proceed, I would need to bring my car in for an evaluation, which I agreed to. During the process of setting up the appointment, the representative mentioned that they would "recheck" the quote. To my shock , I was presented with a new offer that was almost half of what the initial written quote was- and this was before they had even seen my vehicle. This kind of behavior feels like nothing more than a bait-and-switch tactic, and I consider it fraudulent. They tried to blame it on it being read as a different model of car, but the VIN number identifies it as it is, so there can be no mistaking it. After reading the reviews, this is a pattern of deceit. Sell private party or to another credible dealership. read more

I don't know what people are talking about with some of their negative experiences - in my experience, both Gabriel and manager Mike were absolutely fantastic. They both quoted me something very reasonable over the phone, and they stuck to that quote when I presented there later with the vehicle. They were extremely kind, the transaction lasted less than an hour, and they literally give me a quote which was better than carvana, carmax, and two Lexus dealerships that I called including the dealership where I originally purchased the vehicle. I strongly recommend you go here and ask for Gabriel and Mike. read more

Don't waste your time with this place. Absolute joke operation they are running. I got a certified offer for my 2018 Jaguar E Pace from Autonation. The offer seemed good so I went down to have the car appraised in person. I was prepared for a friction of a few hundred dollars for a random tire or something , but when they finished appraising the car they came back with an insultingly low joke of an offer. The excuse was the original amount emailed to me was what they would charge retail and it was a mistake. I drove 35 minutes to have an hour of my time wasted only to receive an offer that was 30% less than what they certified. Even the employee couldn't help but laugh at how much lower the offer was. If you like being jerked around and don't value your time, come to Autonation on Ventura and get a free bottle of water for your troubles. read more

I went back and forth with emails with their salesperson Elizabeth. I was given a 'buy out price' and informed her I had a higher one from KBB. She informed me she could probably either match or beat that price. I set up an appointment. She never showed. I was helped by another salesperson who came back to me with the original quote telling me that is as high as they would go. I asked about the information I got from Elizabeth and was told they would not change the price I had such high hopes for this transactions and unfortunately it turned out to be just another stereotypical used car sale read more

Was offered $19,800 online, brought my truck in after work, and after 30 minutes of waiting, was told the best they could do was $11,000. Very unprofessional Would not recommend bringing your car here. read more

This place is a complete joke and waste of time, I submitted my car info they gave me an offer, talked to Nathan i explained that i lost the title and will be willing to fill out a duplicate title form and he advised me that they will need title in hand, I went to DMV requested duplicate title title, 10 days later i went back, Brian who is suppose to be the manager came to me asked for a recite from the DMV for when i paid the duplicate title i went to my office i found that also i sent it to them waited then they said im very sorry we dont know why corporate is not wanting to buy the car even though it passed inspection and we have an offer that we both agree, its shame i guess this is why the place is completely empty there is no cars and no customer almost looks like a front to something else. All i can say is Wowwww read more

They bought my Tacoma! It was a great little truck, but I was happy to move on now that I don't need it anymore. They paid exactly what was quoted, which was a great deal. I couldn't believe how fast this all went down. I spent more time clearing stuff out and waiting for my ride. The money was in my account, on a Sunday, pretty much when I handed them the keys. Fantastic experience. Ask for Hovannes! He's the man! read more

If you're looking for a smooth sale of your vehicle, take it to Auto Nation in Encino. The transaction was fast, fair, and friendly. Ervin walked me through the process and helped me understand the advantages of working with Auto Nation. Dealing with buyers on the street was such a hassle. There were no-shows, people without credit approval, and low ballers. I made more money with Auto Nation than trying to sell it on the open market. I saved so much time working with Ervin. You'll have a week to think about the offer, so what do you have to lose? Go for it. read more

I sold my car to them on June 19th, I was told I would be issued a check on the spot, but due to issues with their system they weren't able to print me a check. It is now 10 days later and they still have not paid me for my car. They have been telling me to be patient and they will eventually have the money. Not a well organized operation, I'd recommend selling your car elsewhere. read more

I have never written a review and honestly think they are a waste of time but I need to tell everyone, DO NOT COME HERE. It was single handedly the worst customer experience I have experienced in my entire life. I worked with Tristan and it could not have been worse. He couldn't answer any questions I had, tried to belittle me into feeling bad for asking so many questions, and just made the entire experience very frustrating. I would recommend giving your car away for free to a homeless man in LA before I recommend anybody to come here. read more

Do not waste your time! They gonna try to lure you as good values, And then make you sitting on the couch. And say, " please wait 20 min for paper work. And they gonna never come back before you're tired. And, they may say to you. "We are struggling price. But we have to cut price 2000$." Since you'd been waited for at least 2h 30min. And never say sorry. JUST SAY "I UNDERSTAND YOU" HEY!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF SERVICE YOU GUYS DO IT. BUT, JUST ONETHING IS VERY CLEAR. I'LL NEVER BUY ANY CAR IN AUTONATION!!! EVEN ANY BRANCH IN THE WORLD!!! Don't mess around with customers!!!! read more

Great service by Nathan! Everything went very smooth from the second we got there and they appraised the car. Brought the paperwork and was all done in 1hr! Will be coming back for sure read more

Ok Lets Keep It Real, went to sell my Bentz to them they offered me $500.00 less than a BMW Dealership, and $700.00 less than a small mom and pop car lot. You see Car Max, and Auto Nation, there so big they really don't need your car! They have cars coming out of there ears! So shop, shop, and then shop, that is my humble advice to all my Yelpers. Auto Nation, Car Max, will buy your car back of wholesale book, and then sell it at top retail without any negotiation on the sales price, they call it there no haggling policy, there car price is as marked.! Go to independent large dealers makes doesn't matter, or better yet, go to small mom and pop car lots, who need nice clean good condition cars, they will step up and beat the big guys!!! So forget Auto Nation, and Car Max, that is my advice! Just Keeping It Real! read more

Currently sitting here for over 2 hours when the website clearly states that I will be in and out in 60 minutes. There is no ETA and there seems to be no urgency to help expedite the process. They have also offered well below the offered priced online. Come here only if you are desperate and waiting 3 hours to sell your car isn't an issue. read more

This place is a joke! Don't waste your time! I had gotten 3 offers from them online and by one of the employees to sell my vehicle After the 3rd one I decided not to return my lease to the dealership and make some cash.. Yeah right I brought my vehicle in that they offered me $26,500 When I arrived the manager walks out and says best I can do is $22,000 I show him my quote that I have from his company that's valid for another 6 days. Proceeds to tell me the "website is bullshit" and it's a generic quote. So basically they bait and switch you After an hour of arguing he came and told me they'll pay off my vehicle at even money $24,2,00 and I would not owe money After 3 hours of waiting for paperwork they come and tell me they need a credit card and I owe $343 for a Disposition fee! DUDE F*** this place I've been sitting here for 5 hours and they've done nothing but bullshit me and have me sit here and wait and I just purchased a vehicle from Autonation damn I freaking regret it ain't nothing but liars here read more

Absolutely the best experience, thanks to Gabriel M.!! He is what customer service is all about! He is so professional, patient, knowledgeable - he made this an awesome experience!! And the entire process only took about an hour. So happy!' Thank you Gabriel and Auto Nation!! read more

I had an excellent experience selling my corolla. Great customer service. They were very transparent and honest with me and in the end worked out a deal I couldn't pass up I highly recommend and would use the service again! Their offer was dead on to what was quoted online and beat carmax offer as well! read more

I had a really good experience selling my car here. Everything was straight forward and though it took a little while with paperwork, as always in this situation, they were very attentive to my needs. Marissa handled my case and she was on top of it from the moment I got an online qoute to sending me out my way home. Very good customer service and also gave me a great value for my car! read more

took my car in today for appraisal. Was told I would have an appraisal in a few hours. Never heard back from them. No wonder this place has so many poor reviews. read more

It was a terrible experience selling a car. Donation bought a car from me and wrote a check for Toyota since my car was leased. But a month later, Toyota still hasn't received the check. This car dealer stopped answering my calls after the first time and avoided communicating with me in every possible way. due to the fact that the check did not reach me, they charged me a penalty at the bank and ruined my credit history. read more

Needed to sell my dads car and we were looking to get the best price possible. I want to say thank you to Luke, Tristan, and Hunter. They were very professional and assisted in getting a payoff quote and working with the finance company to make sure the paperwork was processed correctly. They quoted the car a lot higher then Carmax and I was more then happy to see they honored the price that was quoted on the website. 10/10 experience would sell to them again. read more

Came in to sell my car and had a not so pleasant experience. The initial person who helped me, Mike, was very professional but the issue was from the boy appraising the car. He made an absurd claim based in his "20 year" experience working in a body shop. He was unprofessional and low balled me for his gain. He has something against Armenians and it was quite evident because I could also feel it from his coworkers. read more

Sold my car today, shopped around they gave me closest to KBB got money into my account same day.

Sold them my RAV4 hybrid and got a Zelle payment the same day. trustworthy and a close offer to what other online companies offered.

Selling 2 cars. Called and then stopped at Encino location. Tristan and his manager came out took pictures and I am still waiting for any reply. I do not recommend this business based on there follow thru. There is none. I don't get it. I spoke and texted with Tristan and a big ZERO!!!!!! read more

Worked with Harvey. Made me an offer over the phone for my wife's Acura. The offer was higher than Carmax so I wondered if I would be offered less when I arrived there. I was paid exactly what he offered me over the phone and the money was Zelled to me immediately. And the process was quick and went smoothly. read more
